About Me

'There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is.' - Albert Einstein -


I am an extremely adventurous, fun-loving, 54-year-young female! The fact is, I am 54 going on 19...I figure that makes me 18 with 36 years experience!
I sure as hell look forward with an open mind (and heart) to everything the future has to offer, with a "glass half full" attitude . . .
Front row, from left to right: Ed, Kate, Jake, Heather & me.......headed DOWWWWWWWN!

I'm from PA ... born and raised in Pittsburgh proper (Fineview ~ on "THE NORSIDE"). I'm the only child of Herbert & Adella Davis (Bud & Dell -- r.i.p.), and am quite proud of the fact that I am a "Steel Town girl". (My Dad worked in the mill at J&L for 39 years.)

You are 100% Pittsburgh. Great job! There's nooooo doubt about it. You're from Da Burgh. You deserve a reward, so go have an Ahrn City or two. And GO STILLERS!

I married my high school sweetheart, Ed, when I was 22. He entered the Air Force after ROTC at Pitt, and we set out to see the world!
We have lived in Glendale (AZ), Pittsburgh (PA) HOMEBASE!, Las Vegas (NV), Hessisch-Oldendorf (Germany), Griffiss AFB (NY), Osan AB (Korea), Yorktown (VA), Bonaire (GA), Tucson (AZ), finally returning to Yorktown to plant a few roots. "WE" retired after 24 years and one month! :) My other half now works at a local AFB as a civilian contractor for a major corporation, and I am employed by the DoD as a loss prevention specialist at a local Army installation. (Did I say retired???)
My kids are Air Force brats to the core, and proud of it. My daughter (Kate) and son (Jake) are the absolute best! Packing up and moving every two years, starting all over again in a brand new town/city/country (whatever), was never easy. These two have always been there for each other, through thick and thin. That's what family is all about.
This pic was taken from the balcony of our apartment at Mustang Housing / Osan Air Base, Korea, back in '93:
That was then, and this is now!
They are both quite grown and gone from the nest. The paths they have chosen have taken them much too far away -- I miss them terribly, and sure wish they lived closer! (Guess the distance just means I have to find more creative ways to drive them "nuckin' futs!")

Saw this today, and thought of "us". These chairs are hereby reserved for me and my girls. Bring those VA Beach zip-ups we bought last year, my friends! We will light up the beach, even at midnight! ...and don't forget the damn cork screw, for God's sake!

Forget cultivating the development of a political consciousness ~ and conscience ~ in our young people...forget igniting their sense of pride in country, and encouraging their education and enlightenment regarding the inner workings of the American political system and political process... Let's just hook 'em with some hot, steamy sex, and buy that liberal vote!..."DECLARE YOURSELF" is BIPARTISAN, MY ASS. Don't piss on my leg, and tell me it's rainin'.
Making Out Is Legal

...apparently McCain isn't the only one who thinks American's are stupid.
**************************************************
"McCain Thinks American's Are Stupid!!!"...is the battle cry from the "Left" these days.

I have far more confidence in the vast majority of the American people, regardless of ethnicity, age, personal background, or EVEN political affiliation...
To be perfectly honest, the thought that this moron's vote will totally cancel out my own in the upcoming November election, makes me a little crazy at times, if I think about it long enough....never angry....just crazy.
But that is the American political process....gripe as you will, there is none greater.
MAKE NO MISTAKE.
There is none greater.
The bottom line is... the polls will tell the story, at the end of the day on 4 November.

I LOVE spending time in the sunshine! That may seem really simple, but I spend way too much time in the darkness of the "bat cave" at work. Don't keep bankers' hours ... so when my Sunday/Monday rolls around, I can't wait to drop the top on my 'stang and rip the strip at va beach, or take in an outdoor music festival with the LC.
I enjoy great seafood, traveling, world-class rollercoasters, intelligent conversation, people who know who they really are, people who don't have a damn clue (but are enthusiastic as hell to learn), old movies (Bogie & Bacall, Tracy & Hepburn, Wayne & O'Hara -- the BEST of the BEST), my three dear & precious pups (Dude, Peanut and Baby Bruno), my tandem-flyin' parakeets (Sky & Sunny)... and waking up each day with a new chance to do it right!

I'd like to meet:


I'd love to meet interesting people of any age, race, gender, and ethnicity, who fully grasp the concept that, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Music:


Mark Mahar & Boston Swing

Movies:

Give me the old classics, any day .... As far as I'm concerned, John Wayne still rules! (Oh, shut up!) Add Maureen O'hara to the mix, and I'm in heaven!Tracy & Hepburn rocked the screen.Bogart & Bacall burned holes in it! So many wonderful old movies ...Women of the Big Screen

Television:

Don't have much time for TV, but I do enjoy Will & Grace, Forensic Files, Dr. G (Medical Examiner), Dead Like Me (gone, but not forgotten), Dog The Bounty Hunter, Eurika, Cold Case Files, Friday Night Fights, old movie classics, and anything Discovery Channel. Also have become recently attached to Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe is my hero ...Old Sci-Fi is the BEST! Zone ... or Limits? ... Zone ... or Limits? What a dilemma! But, ultimately, we all know which one ruled ..."LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUMMMMMMBLE!!!!!"M.B. is the SHIT!
